How to Wheely an ATV

A wheelie is a commonly used stunt in the world of ATV riding. It looks cool, and is a great way to show off your skills and get some attention. But how do you actually do it? In this blog post, we’ll provide some tips for successfully mastering the wheelie on an ATV.

A Step by Step


Before you even consider attempting a wheelie, you need to make sure that your ATV is in top condition. Check all the nuts and bolts, tighten up the chain, check the tires and the brakes, and make sure everything is running smoothly. Once you’ve done that, it’s time to start practicing!

First, find a flat surface with enough room for you to practice without endangering yourself or other riders. Make sure that there are no obstacles or dangers in your path before getting started. The next step is to get comfortable with the machine by doing some basic maneuvers like accelerating in a straight line and stopping quickly. This will help build up your confidence as well as teach you how to control the throttle at different speeds.

The next step is to begin practicing your wheelies. Start by slowly accelerating while keeping your feet firmly planted on either side of the ATV; this will help keep your balance as you slowly lift up off of the ground with both feet still resting on either side of the vehicle until only one rear tire remains on the ground. From here, use small adjustments on the throttle to maintain balance and keep from tipping over backward. As you become more comfortable with this maneuver, gradually increase your speed until you can complete successful wheelies at higher speeds!


Wheelies are great stunts for anyone who loves ATVs! With enough practice and dedication, mastering this skill can be fairly easy- just remember to use caution when attempting them for the first time! Don’t forget that safety should always come first – wear protective gear such as helmets and gloves before attempting any stunts such as wheelies. Once you have perfected this trick, you’ll be ready to take your riding skills up a notch! So good luck out there and have fun exploring new tricks with your ATV!
